Technological Advances During The Age Of Exploration

The Age of Exploration was a very important period in time. Many significant changes occurred, some of which were good and others which were bad. There were many causes for the Age of Exploration and many resulting effects for it that impacted the colonization of the New World along with many other things. The main causes for the Age of Exploration were God, Glory, and Gold. Some of the negative effects of it were disease, slavery, and harsh treatment to the Native Americans. Some of the positive effects were global trade, Columbus’ voyages, and new inventions. The Age of Exploration greatly influenced the world and life as we know it today.

The printing press was a vital part of the Reformation,Renaissance ,and Age of exploration,without this writing tool these historical events wouldn't have literacy or technological advances when they did in that time period, which allow people able to read and learn how to read also reduces prices on books. The renaissance was the rebirth of europe in many of ways in which they had multiple achievements in science,art,and culture.then in the light of the reformation this shown how martin luther life have impact history as we know it with his 95 thesis to the pope and the church in the year of 1517.In addition to this was the age of exploration which many of empires wanted to have wealth which leaded to all the empires to sending their explorers like christof colombo,and others to find the quickest route to trade in the middle east to gain gold and assorted goods.

One innovation was the change in speed of communication, the telegraph was invented by Samuel F.B. Also the lightbulb, invented by Thomas Edison, and the typewriter caused revolutionary changes in American society.

The printing press helped a lot through the renaissance time and even after that. Gutenberg helped spread the word of Martin Luther and his ideas and the knowledge of the world

With no intention of discarding the importance of religion in how our world has progressed, I would argue that religion has been holding us back from our full potential in terms of science and technological innovation and practice of free will.

Most of the time we go through our lives daily on a set routine: Wake up, go to school/work, come home, have some possible leisure time, then go to bed and get ready for the next day. However, how many times have you ever just looked around at the world we live in today and thought about the amount of items we as humans have created to better our lives. Probably not much because these things that make our lives easier cause us to become trapped inside the world of technology and ultimately, the things that were designed to assist our lives, create more problems.

One factor is new inventions. Compasses and other inventions were designed to make travelling safer by boat. Even boats became more stable, reliable, and safe. Therefore, sailors became more comfortable with exploring further out in the ocean, rather than skimming the coast lines. This is one reason as to why the Age of Exploration began.

Technology has revolutionized during the age of exploration as it benefited and helped Europeans expand power around the world. During the age of exploration, Europeans were motivated to go on voyage by desire to gain access to Asia, religious zeal and spiritual and secular affairs. European voyagers needed to have knowledge about sailing to have a successful voyage. Sailors used charts that record shapes of coastlines and distances between parts. This was beneficial to the European bodies of water because the charts were on a flat scale but had no consideration of the incurvation of earth. This led, sailors to gain awareness about the shape of the earth. In addition, by 1500 mapmaking was quite detailed and elaborated for specific areas

I believe that with todays technology columbus would of took different route and would of had better thoughts and ideas.Many things have improved since August 3,1492,his first voyage.

Europeans brought many new technologies to the countries that they imperialized. They built railroads and other types of

Comparing to history of past few centuries technology and instruments have improved greatly over time. Many examples are available of development of technology and instruments but this essay will focus on developments that affects the scientific information exchange. Now the question is how did improvements of scientific information exchange made through improvements of technology affect scientists over time?

Humanity’s advancements over the course of history have been due to major technological milestones. Of these milestones, arguably the most important has been the advent of agriculture. Agriculture has allowed humans to store food in surplus which frees them from slaving in fields and allows focus on more scholarly and artistic pursuits. As time has progressed, agriculture itself reach important advances, from selective breeding to artificial fertilizer. However, one of the most recent advances in modern times has been met with suspicion and distrust. Genetically modified organisms, commonly referred to as GMOs, have begun to be used in commercial agricultural and their widespread use in food for humans and livestock is on the rise. Many

Technology is constantly changing and evolving. Technology is something that we use in everyday life and is always being modified. In the 1800s and the early 1900s people could not rely on the internet to help them with their daily tasks. When children were in school they were not capable of doing their homework online. The school children would usually have to walk to school, even though it may be several miles away. The car was an invention that changed society. The first car was invented in 1886. The first modern use of the car didn’t occur until the early 1900s. This invention helped people get to place to place in less than half the time it would take if you were required to walk. Today we have made cars to be faster, more durable, and they also have accessories such as navigation settings. This invention inspired other people to think of ways that we could get around. In 1903 the first plane was invented. The plane is a more advanced way to travel around. Although today it is generally used for travelling long distances. Now we have commercial airlines that can carry around one hundred people. Planes have had modifications and are now much safer.

Many historians refer to the time between ‘Exploration” and “The Industrial Revolution” as era of “Early Modern History”. In between ‘Exploration” and “The Industrial Revolution” were markers known as “Reformation” and “Enlightenment”. This was a time where nations became established and grew increasingly curious of the world around them. Several technological and intellectual advances occurred during this era. Early modern history began with the “Exploration” period and ended with the “Industrial Revolution”.

The Age of Exploration, also known as the Age of Discovery lasted from the 15th century to the 17th century. It was the Europeans exploration of expanding from the old world to the new world. The discovery of the New World led to wealth, knowledge, and new trading routes. This made people think more about the world and it developed modern science into what it is today.
